Cellulose scaffolds containing nano- or micro-hydroxyapatite (nHA μHA) were prepared by the regeneration of cellulose from its acetylated derivative and mechanical immobilization inorganic particles, followed freeze-drying. Microtomographic (micro-computed tomography) evaluation revealed that both presented a highly interconnected porous structure, with mean pore diameter 490 ± 94 540 132 μm for cellulose/nHA cellulose/μHA, respectively. In vitro in vivo characterizations developed...
Highly porous, rigid cellulose gels were developed through a novel process involving the slow hydrolysis of acetyl groups in acetate directly an acetone/aqueous ammonia solution.
Recently, usage of marine-derived materials in biomedical field has come into prominence due to their promising characteristics such as biocompatibility, low immunogenicity and wide accessibility. Among these marine sources, cuttlebone been used a valuable component with its trace elemental composition traditional medicine. Recent studies have focused on the use bioactive agent for tissue engineering applications. In this study, hydroxyapatite particles were obtained by hydrothermal...
Ozonation has been proved as a viable surface modification technique providing certain properties to the scaffolds that are essential in tissue engineering. However, ozone (O3) treatment of PCL aqueous environments not yet presented. O3 performed is more effective compared with traditional, executed ambient air due abundant production hydroxyl radicals (•OH) within reaction water molecules. During interaction •OH, scaffold acquires functional groups which improve wettability and encapsulate...
Abstract Fibrous matrix of cellulose was obtained by wet‐type electrospinning in ionic liquid, 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium acetate (BMIMAc). The experiments were designed to determine the effects electric field intensity and amount dissolved on fiber morphology diameter. Taking account practical implications, that is, size effectiveness production, most effective production fibers took place using 3% cellulose/BMIMAc solution at 4.8 kV cm −1 , feed rate 2.38 ml h . Analysis has shown fully...
Polycaprolactone (PCL) has recently received significant attention due to its mechanical strength, low immunogenicity, elasticity, and biodegradability. Therefore, it is perfectly suitable for cartilage tissue engineering. PCL relatively hydrophobic in nature, so hydrophilicity needs be enhanced before use scaffolding. In our study, first, we aimed improve the properties after network of bilayer scaffold was formed by electrospinning. Electrospun scaffolds were treated with ozone further...
Polycaprolactone (PCL) is a non-cytotoxic, completely biodegradable biomaterial, ideal for cartilage tissue engineering. Despite drawbacks such as low hydrophilicity and lack of functional groups necessary incorporating growth factors, it provides proper environment different cells, including stem cells. In our study, we aimed to improve properties scaffolds better cell adherence regeneration. Thus, electrospun PCL-scaffolds were functionalized with ozone loaded TGF-β3. Together,...
Abstract Regenerated fibrous cellulose possesses a unique set of properties, including biocompatibility, biodegradability, and high surface area potential, but its applications in the biomedical sector have not been sufficiently explored. In this study, nanofibrous matrices were fabricated via wet‐electrospinning process using binary system solvent ionic liquid (IL) 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium acetate (BMIMAc) co‐solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The morphology was controlled by varying...
The impact of cuttlebone microparticles on the in vitro bioactivity and physical-chemical characteristics cellulose-based scaffolds during biomimetic mineralisation a simulated body fluid (SBF) was studied. In cellulose/cuttlebone shown, because hydroxyapatite precursors were formed surface soaking SBF. It also shown that incorporation into matrix positively affected properties scaffolds, such as water retention, swelling degree degradation profile (by means weight loss). Additionally,...
